On our way to Germany

It was a long flight to Germany.  We had a 6 hour stop over in Singapore before the last flight to Frankfurt.  The kids travelled well but didn't have much sleep. They loved watching movies on the TV screen with their headphones.

Waiting for kids when we arrived in Germany was a massive digger for the kids to play with. It took Daddy and Opa quite a while to put it together.  They both loved using it to fill up the sand pit.  Hannah loved walking through the garden and picked a fresh strawberry. 

Jet lag hit us early the next morning with the kids awake at 2am.  We did lots of colouring and drawing while we waited for the sun to come up.  At 5.30 it was time to get the kids out and about, so we went for a walk around the foggy village.

Hannah's Birthday party

Happy 3rd Birthday to our beautiful girl, Hannah.  Her actual birthday isn't for another week, but we had the party early because we will be in Germany for her actual birthday. We had Tinkerbell come to have some fun with all the kids, there was lots of games, dancing and face painting.

Climbing

These guys just love climbing this big spider web at one of our local playgrounds. Sebastian climbs all the way to the top and Hannah only to the bottom section.

Half Marathon

Very proud of this guy for finishing the Half Marathon in Sydney.  Well done Uwe.

Beach

We spent the afternoon at the beach.  We are taking full advantage of this gloriously warm weather.  Who would have thought that the middle of May we are still swimming in the ocean. Loving this long summer.

Beach playground

It was a glorious day for a play at the beach playground. 

Swans game

We took the kids to watch the Sydney Swans play Essendon.  The kids were very excited and for most of the game they cheered and were very interested in watching.  The swans played very well and won the game. We will definitely be coming back to watch more games with the kids.

Chalkboard

The kids are loving using their new chalkboard Grandpa made for them.  Here they are practising writing their names.

Hair cut

Sebastian and Uwe need to get their hair cut, so while the weather was not so good today, we went to the shops to get it done.  While we were there, Hannah decided she would like to get her hair cut as well.  It was the first time getting her hair cut and she was so excited to sit up on the chair and let the hairdresser cut her hair. 

Rainy day

It was a rainy day today, but it didn't stop Uwe and the kids from heading to the Shuk café for their coffee, babycinos and cookies.
